SIXTY-ONE

AYSHAM’S POV:

Fidgeting with the blanket in between my fingers and with thousands of ridiculous thoughts running inside me head I went to sleep soon. I strained myself at the edge of the bed just in case if he came back home early and the beast overcome the original Farzan so I could just run away as the door was close to that side. Hoping that he wouldn’t come home early I slept keeping the alarm for tahajud so I could wake up early and confront Suzi after that.

I didn’t know what was the time when I felt ruffling of sheets beside me. I usually didn’t wake up with the noise of drum but I wasn’t in a deep sleep at that time so I squirmed a little in my place only to scream the next moment because I was so close to the edge that I didn’t realize while turning around and my face was about to touch the floor when a firm grip appeared around my waist and in no second I was lying on top of him with my eyes hooded with the effect of sleep in my eyes.

“Even king size bed isn’t enough for you.” There was a hint of anger in his eyes as he tried to narrow them at me making me bit my lower lip but I had to say something in my defense.

“I was in sleep.” I said as my fingers trembled when I realized he wasn’t wearing his shirt making my hooded eyes not hooded anymore.

“I am not naked.” He mused with a small smirk on his face on seeing my widened eyes.

“You are.” I said looking at his chin because upper was his eyes with heated emotions and lower was his body which was naked.

“Want to show you what does it actually means?” He raised an eyebrow at me alarming my every fiber.

“Suzi locked my door.” I said as he should know why I was there. I could sleep on the couch outside too but last time when I slept there my back ached for two days so I tried to take the risky route this time.

“She should move all your stuff too yesterday.” He said making me look upward in his eyes as there wasn’t any amusement in them that gave the evidence of his seriousness.

“No, she won’t.” I said as what she did today was a joke and moving my stuff into his room wasn’t a joke. Things could get way more serious after that.

“She would. She is not disobedient like you.” He said and I narrowed my eyes at him.

“She works for you that’s why. Why should I obey you?” I asked raising my chin although the part that I am his slave were echoing in my mind but I decided to ignore that.

“Did I ever say anything to you when you have disobeyed me?” He asked making me think as he never said anything to me although I have tried to irk his every nerve with my Nos.

“You are alive…” He rasped when his eyes lingered on my lips while his hand caressed my back with a little push in order to flush me against his torso. “…after obeying me. Doesn’t this give any clue of you can do anything with me and I won’t even complain.” Our faces were so close that I felt his lips slightly grazing mine while I shuddered looking into his deep eyes with many emotions swirling inside them.

“Can I kill you too?” I asked out of nowhere as he smiled at that.

“Just tell when you want to do it and I would present you, my gun.” He said and I didn’t know why but the thought of him getting shot in my mind shook me to the core as I tried to move away from him.

“I want to sleep.” I said as I wanted to lay at the side but he made me lay by his side making me glued to him while he covered both of us with the comforter.

“I want you.” He whispered as our bodies were flushed against each other as I had a haunch that he could even hear my heartbeat so I placed my arms in between us to which he didn’t show any disappointment while he kept glancing into my eyes with so many emotions that realizing them, I became breathless.

“Let me sleep.” I mumbled although I was the one looking in his eyes while he was kissing my every feature with his eyes. He looked tired as there was little redness in his eyes.

“Let me sleep with my wife.” He mumbled and rested his forehead against mine closing his eyes as he took a sharp breath before drifting to sleep but my sleep vanished away hearing the last word he said before drifting to sleep peacefully.

It was my alarm which was screaming under his pillow on which I was sleeping before him. He woke up before me as I groaned groggily in my sleep when he let go off my waist and looked at my phone. He turned that off as he glanced at me with confusion in his eyes when I sat up rubbing my eyes.

“I have to pray.” I clarified seeing his facial expression as I was still asleep like always that it took some time for my brain to wake and function properly.

“But I want to sleep.” He said wrapping his arm around me as my senses started coming back slowly. If I lay back down, I would drift to sleep again and would not be able to pray. I looked down at him as he was in a deep sleep and my alarm disturbed him before rising of the sun.

“You can.” I said as I couldn’t help but remove few flicks touching his eyebrows from his forehead. Usually, his hair was styled in gel combed backwards but this suited him well making him look cute if he keeps his eyes close like that.

“Sleep with me.” He mumbled groggily in his sleep but I couldn’t help but smile at his cute expressions. I wanted to capture those cute moments in my phone but I missed that.

“I can’t.” I whispered as he opened his eyes to look at me with upset eyes. He was in effect of sleep or normal Farzan wouldn’t have acted like that. Ignoring his eyes, I removed his arm around me and untangled myself from the quilt and his legs with all the while his eyes were on me. I entered his restroom as I had also seen it already on my first night in the room and in the mansion. I did my wudhu slowly and gently as I didn’t want to hurry at that time because prayers are like meditation and meditation would give you peace only if you do it with relax posture and with a calm mind.

I entered the room to see him wide awake lying on the bed staring the ceiling as I bit my lip and moved towards the door because I didn’t think he would have any prayer mat so I had to bring that from the outside cabinet in the lounge.

“Where do you think you are going?” His rough voice made me turn around as I mumbled ‘prayer mat’ when he stood up from the bed glaring at me as I couldn’t help but smile at his way of throwing tantrums like a baby. He so wanted attention from me.

Soon this smiled vanished into a surprised expression when he appeared from the restroom and handed me the prayer mat. I didn’t say anything as I just looked at the paryer mat and then at him unless he himself calrified. “It’s my mother’s.” He informed and grabbed his laptop before sitting on the couch. With a small smile I moved towards the balcony as the weather was good to pray.

I offered tahajud as there were so many things to pray and amongst them were the peace of the world and my heart. The first one was lacking these days so I made an extensive dua for that.

My dua was usually long so the moment I said Ameen to it the azan of fajer started echoing in the air as that is the most beautiful time with which I start my mornings as hearing the fajer azan was like a melody that send bliss to my ears and reach my soul.

Soon after completing my fajer prayer, I entered the room as I placed the mat on the table when he looked above at me. I walked close to him.

“Your mother was religious.” It was more like a statement as he grabbed my hand and made me sit where his laptop was before-in his lap. A blush appeared on my face as he was still naked or you can say shirt-less.

“She was so many things which I am not. She was kind, soft hearted and gentle with everything.” He said as he cupped my cheek while his thumb caressed the corner of my mouth. I couldn’t help but lean a little into his warm touch.

“You are those things too but you try to hide that.” I mumbled as I was sure of that after hearing from Suzi that he ran an orphanage in multiple cities to educate them and feed them at the same time. He had a lot of money and he made ways to spend it.

“And you are dumb and you don’t even try to hide that.” He said with mischief in his eyes as he clearly wanted to change the topic but I gasped at his statement.

“Excuse me! I am not.” I said sternly but he chuckled at my response as the chuckled soon turned into a smirk when he leaned in as his eyes lingered on my lips for a while before looking into my eyes.

“Show me then.” He asked with a challenged tone.
